Overview

A 6-night Switzerland honeymoon package from India built around water rather than altitude - one night in Zurich on arrival, two in Lucerne and three in Interlaken, all in central 3-star hotels with a Swiss Half Fare Card. Best from mid-May to the end of October, which is the only window when both lakeside castles are open.

Four lake journeys across three lakes, and one summit that earns its place. Lake Zurich on the first evening, a sunset cruise on Lake Lucerne, then a boat across to Kehrsiten for the Hammetschwand lift - 153m of open shaft bolted to the Burgenstock cliff, the highest exterior lift in Europe and still running since 1905. On Lake Thun, Spiez Castle sits on a promontory in the water, and Oberhofen Castle has its tower standing in the lake itself, plus the St Beatus Caves cut into the shore. The mountain is Schilthorn at 2,970m, where the restaurant turns a full circle while you eat, and the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau line up in the window.

Honeymoon itinerary

Explore your journey day by day, with every stay, transfer and experience clearly planned.

A Lake Zurich boat

Arrival: The rail station is directly under Zurich Airport arrivals. Ten minutes to the main station, and the hotel is a walk from there.

Evening: A Lake Zurich cruise from Burkliplatz, straight out from the end of Bahnhofstrasse. An hour on the water with the old town behind you and the Glarus Alps ahead on a clear evening. Included.

Before the boat: The Lindenhof, a flat terrace on the hill in the middle of the old town that gives you the whole thing in one view. Free, and almost nobody goes up.

Why start on water: Most Switzerland trips spend the first evening in a hotel room recovering. This one puts you on a lake two hours after landing, which is a better first photograph than a corridor.

STAYZurich
ON THE WATERAbout 1 hr
STATUSIncluded
Lucerne Chapel Bridge and the water tower

Evening: A sunset cruise on Lake Lucerne, with mountains on both sides and the water going from blue to copper. Some of the fleet are restored paddle steamers from the 1900s. Included.

Morning: Direct train to Lucerne, about an hour, roughly hourly through the day.

Afternoon: The Chapel Bridge, the oldest surviving wooden covered bridge in Europe, and the Lion Monument ten minutes away. Both free.

The free view: The Musegg Wall towers are open in season and cost nothing to climb - the best look over the old roofs without buying a ticket.

MEALSBreakfast
RAIL1 hr direct
STATUSCruise included
The Hammetschwand lift shaft on the open cliff face

Morning: A boat across Lake Lucerne to Kehrsiten, about twenty-five minutes, then the funicular up the Burgenstock ridge. Both included.

The cliff path: The Felsenweg is cut into the rock face and runs level along the cliff with the lake several hundred metres straight below. Free, and the walk to the lift takes about twenty-five minutes.

The Hammetschwand lift: An open shaft bolted to the outside of the cliff, 153m straight up, the highest exterior lift in Europe. It has been running since 1905 and the ride takes under a minute. Included.

At the top: A terrace at 1,128m with Lake Lucerne spread out below and the Rigi and Pilatus massifs on either side. There is a restaurant, and almost no crowd - most day trippers from Lucerne never come here.

STAYLucerne
MEALSBreakfast
LIFT153m, open shaft
STATUSAll included
Spiez Castle on its promontory with the bay and vineyard

Evening: A three-course lakeside dinner for two back in Interlaken. This is the only dinner included in the package - every other evening is yours to choose.

Morning: The Luzern-Interlaken Express over the Brunig Pass, with Lake Lungern below it. Two hours, no reservation, no supplement.

Afternoon: Check in, then a Lake Thun boat out to Spiez. The approach is the point - the castle sits on a promontory with a vineyard behind it and a horseshoe bay in front, and it only looks like that from the water. Included.

Spiez Castle: A medieval tower with a Romanesque church beside it, a hall hung with the originals, and a park that runs down to the water. Entry included.

Why this route works

Boats instead of coaches

Four of the six days reach their main sight by water - Lake Zurich, Lake Lucerne twice, Lake Thun twice. Nothing on a Swiss lake boat is rushed, there is no queue to join and no guide to follow, and you can sit outside for an hour without anyone asking you to move along. For a honeymoon that matters more than one extra summit.

One summit, and it is the right one

Schilthorn at 2,970m has a restaurant that rotates while you sit in it and a view that takes in the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau across the valley. It is a two-hour journey each way from Interlaken, so it is a full day - which is exactly why there is only one summit on this trip instead of three.

Three unbroken nights at the end

Zurich for one night, Lucerne for two, then three in Interlaken. The order is deliberate - the trip gets slower as it goes, and the last three days all come out of the same room, so the end of the week is the part with no packing in it.

Frequently asked questions

Same three cities, same six nights and the same 3-star hotels - the difference is entirely what you do. That route climbs Mt Rigi at 1,798m and Harder Kulm at 1,322m, and its water is Lake Brienz and the Giessbach Falls. This one has one far bigger summit, Schilthorn at 2,970m with the revolving restaurant looking across at the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. It adds the Hammetschwand lift, four lake journeys across three lakes, two lakeside castles and the St Beatus Caves - none of which are in the budget route. The gap is about twenty-three thousand rupees and every rupee of it is extra tickets, not a better room.
